The Venus Engine features a new image processing system capable of rapidly handling large 4K60 datasets for exceptional image quality. It also offers advanced image correction features to enhance creative video production. Internal recording supports resolutions up to 4K29.97 and 1080p59.94 in 4:2:2 10-bit.
A ball-bearing optical image stabilization mechanism reduces friction when the lens system drive unit operates. The lens moves smoothly when zooming and delicately compensates for shake caused by small vibrations.
Internal recording on SD cards supports 4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP UHD 4K29.97/25 (150 Mb/s) and 1080p59.94/50 (100 Mb/s). Enabling 10-bit recording activates 4K60 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output, which is ideal for capturing high-quality video from external recorders.
The camcorder uses compact SD cards with two available slots. For 4K recording, it enables relay and backup recording. For 1080p recording, slot 1 records specific scenes while slot 2 records continuously.
Other recording features include pre-recording, interval recording, and embedded timestamps.
The IR cut filter can be toggled on/off and assigned to a user button. Disabling the filter allows shooting in low-light conditions using commercially available IR illuminators (recommended: 850nm IR illuminator).
